Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. You’re having dinner with your family. It’s a large celebration, and everyone’s there having a great time. Your uncle asks you what you’ve been doing lately, and you tell him about your job. The conversation seems to be going swimmingly, but then he brings up the fact that you’re going to lose your job to AI one day. And despite how much despair you feel at the thought, you also find yourself agreeing.
Now we’re not here to feed into your despair; in fact, our goal for this piece is to do the exact opposite. We’re well aware that most people these days live under the fear that AI will eventually usurp them and invalidate all the work they do, but that doesn’t mean they’re completely out of a job. You’re actually quite likely to find another job in a similar field of expertise to the one you’re currently doing.
How so? Well, you see, AI isn’t replacing anyone anytime soon. And the AI that is there always needs a guiding hand. With that in mind, you can probably start thinking of AI as a sort of tool. And as a tool, one would need the correct expertise to use it to the best of its capabilities.
When you think about it that way, the job possibilities start to expand a great deal. Because now every company under the sun (and one day beyond that) wants to have someone with AI expertise on their team. So, for this article, we’re going to list the best jobs to keep track of that require AI expertise.
Top AI Careers to Watch in 2025
Starting the list, we have AI research scientists. You’d think that such a job would be moot because research is seen as one of these core fields that will be usurped by AI. But you need to ask yourself this: “If AI is replacing researchers. Who’s researching it?” And that’s where you come in.
As an AI researcher, your job is to study and understand the complex inner workings of the AI algorithm. Your findings exist not only to help understand AI for academic purposes but for pragmatic reasons as well. This is because it’s your research that will influence the way AI develops and evolves in the future. Alongside that, your research will serve as the backbone for consultancy surrounding the field of AI studies and ethics associated with the use of AI in real-world settings.
UX Designer
Simon Brisk, SEO Strategist of Click Intelligence said, another great job prospect is in the field of UX design. Normally, UX is a process that is focused on the fundamentals surrounding design and knowledge of user interfaces. UX is also becoming more and more important in the realm of SEO. In that regard, having good UX is integral to a strong SEO strategy. And AI is, in fact, quite important when it comes to getting that UX down.
For starters, AI is very good at data gathering; one thing UX doesn’t focus on too much is the statistics part of design. It’s mostly a field focused on feeling around for what’s good. With AI, you can have a better grasp of what parts of your website users are normally gravitating towards using hotspots. This data is then gathered by AI and delivered in a comprehensive analysis.
This way, you know exactly which parts of the website are doing great and which parts of your webpage need designated improvements to bolster your SEO strategy. And as an added plus, not only are you doing a better job, but the clients visiting your domain are also having a stellar experience.
Business Analysts
David Magnani, Managing Director of M&A Executive Search recommends Business Analysts job to look out for in 2025 He said, “yes, AI exists to quantify large sets of data into reasonable summaries. So why not use that to your advantage in a field that’s all about analysis? Business analysts usually depend on data engineers to actuate the data for them and present it in a digestible form for investors.”
AI cuts out the middleman and puts you, the business analyst, in charge. And it takes things a step further. While a data engineer will mostly give you the data solely in a digestible form. AI will give it to you in any way you want it. So if you’re going for an investor’s meeting and you want to add a little storytelling to the data, you can use AI to do that. This will have the knock-on effect of making those meetings a lot more fun as well.
Robotics Engineer
Arjun Narayan, Founder of SalesDuo said, you can’t talk about the concept of AI without talking a little bit about robotics. Modern robots have mostly been an entity that exists to comply with orders and perform basic tasks. They walk, they walk, and heck, they’ll even do a little dance if you ask them to. But they’re not something that’s straight out of the movies. And before you say no, we’re not asking for a bona fide Terminator to take shape.
He explained, “this is more so the fact that with the existence of AI, we can start creating machines that think and act at the exact same time. That’s why robotics engineering is going to be a field that will see more and more popularity, possibly at the same level as computer engineering. To give you a brief idea of what we’re trying to get at, think of a world where medical diagnosis and medicine are being assisted with the use of AI-controlled robots that know the exact decisions needed to cure someone of a historically incurable disease.”
When you see the world from such a lens, it still seems a bit fictitious, yes, but it’s not something that’s out of reach. That’s why we think robotics engineering is the best career path to pursue if you’re looking for something to do in the field of AI.
In Conclusion
Those are some of the major jobs that you can find using AI. However, we’ve only scratched the surface of the kinds of jobs you can get with AI. There are so many more unique fields that you can go into, like gaming, agriculture, and even the government, when it comes to AI.
